More bzzzzzzzing about! Ha ha

Yes done more on my Gathering Honey, I adore where I am now, stitching little bees. They are very time consuming and so many stitches in each one!!

Here is where I was on my last post...

Here is where I am am now... Bzzzzzz bzzzzzzz

Closer...

It's so lovely and coming together now. I must say I have frogged the honey comb a few times! It's just messing with my eyes, but doing it in smaller chunks now and seems to be working out much better.

And I have stitched more..... Remember the Snowflower Diaries? There is the most cutest SAL (link in my side bar) I had to join.

March has just been released so I stitched it and here it is...

January, February and March together....waiting for April now!

I love how they look...so cute :)

I have also been doing some other...yes other!! Stitching..

This... Just something about bees!!

It's from Cross Stitch Collection magazine.. February 2016 issue. This one...and you can see the bee design I did in the top right corner.

Whilst stitching, it was a lovely design to do...

Before I made it into a pin cushion...

I stitched this cute bee and think it's adorable that I may actually do it again!!

Oooh yes!! I have also done a little frogging! Remember the other cute little SAL ABC that I am doing too? (Link in side bar) well I was looking at it and just not happy with one of the colours...so I changed it!!

Here is how it did look....

Here is how it looks now....

A liitle change, but I am happier now! Oh you can't see the changes? Here is a close up...

I changed the acorn leaf and the stem of the flower! Ha ha that's all but I am much happier now :)

Phew, thank goodness you put up a closeup and explanation of the changes to your stitching, I was looking and looking....must be going blind!!! Very nice changes! You are so speedy with your stitching Jacquie!!! Love the Bee pin cushion, that looks amazing...and of course the bees on Gathering Honey! You are doing so well keeping up with the sew alongs which are also beautiful!! Well done you!!!

Awesome progress on everything! I love the March design who doesn't love little duckies? :). I think the honeycomb would drive me nuts lol good luck with the rest! It took a while for me to see the color changes lol but once I did I like them a lot better. Great job soon your house will be filled with stitchy bees :)

So much beautiful stitching. I love the honeycomb in gathering honey. I agree with some of the other comments your bee pin cushion looks better than the magazine. You've done such a lovely job with it. The snowflower sal just gets lovelier each month. It's going to be a big piece when it's finished. Have a lovely stitchy weekend x

Simply lovely...

Love everything here!..

About Me

September 2017 was the start of a new journey for me. Enrolling into university and starting a B A (Hons) Textile Design degree course this is most exciting thing I have done! I like to think I am quite creative, learning new skills excites me and I try to put 110% into everything I do. I am still enjoying stitching for HATS.... more on this as and when I complete samplers! I will pop in now and then but sadly with studying and other commitments I have it will not be as often.
